Chapter 195: Mingquan Fights Back
Ming Zifu stared at the copper plate on the table, looked carefully, and even asked Ming Quan to come forward to watch, asking Nanjun if he could cast this thing.
Mingquan looked at it carefully, and then shook his head and said: "Uncle, this copper plate is very small, for some reason, the color is slightly different from ordinary bronze things, the most surprising thing is that there are only three or four pieces of this copper plate, but the inscriptions and carvings of these three or four pieces are all the same, this is really unimaginable, could it be that Jiangxia minted coins have actually reached such a careful point?!" ”
Under Ming Quan's reminder, Ming Zifu also noticed this, and immediately said happily: "I am thinking, if I don't trade the 500,000 stone grain with the Jiangxia County Government, Gongzi Yan will definitely be worry-free now......
Mingquan hurriedly said, "Uncle, why are you still talking about this now!" The top priority is to imagine how to stop this behavior of the Jiangxia Commercial Bank, if this is the case, it will not be long before the people of Nanjun will exchange all the surplus grain with the Jiangxia Commercial Bank for this copper plate! ”
"Block? Let's talk about what to block, it is not a good thing that Gongziyan wants to use this to unify the coins of Great Qin. Ming Zifu shook his head and said, in fact, Ming Zifu remembered that the original notebook of his mentor Huang Qi was written on the necessity of the unified currency of Great Qin.
But Mingquan didn't know what Ming Zifu was thinking about in the long run, especially when it came to such a thing as Jiangxia Commercial Bank swallowing up the grain of the people of Nanjun, which involved his uncle's political achievements, he explained at the moment: "Uncle, if you don't stop it, I'm afraid that my uncle's annual remuneration will be swallowed up by this small Jiangxia Commercial Bank, and when the time comes, won't it be for Gongziyan to make a wedding dress!" ”
Regarding what Mingquan said, Ming Zifu nodded in agreement, but then shook his head again, and then asked Mingquan a question: "Mingquan, do you need to [drill camp] when you tell your uncle that he is an official?" ”
Mingquan thought for a while and replied: "You can't have the heart to harm people, and you can't do without the heart to defend people, especially in the officialdom, it is necessary to drill camps." ”
Ming Zifu nodded, and continued to ask: "Above the Great Qin Dynasty, how many people are more capable of camping than uncle, but how many people can surpass uncle in terms of power?" ”
Mingquan replied: "It's all because the king trusts his uncle, because his uncle is not from the old clan. ”
Ming Zifu shook his head and said, "What about Si Kou Shen's case, Tai Shi Xia is timid?" ”
"This ......" Mingquan was speechless, it was really difficult to answer, after all, the original court and the emperor were really different from each other.
Ming Zifu is this for Mingquan to tell the story: "Within the borders of the Great Qin, there are many people who sneak around and shoot horses, but those who enter the official career and become officials must plan for the Lord, not in their position and not for their government, on the contrary, in their position, they must seek their own government, Mingquan, you have to remember that your uncle is always the courtier of Daqin, and the first thing to consider in every word and deed is the interests of Daqin, as for the uncle's own interests, today's monarch is a virtuous monarch, and his heart is naturally a scale in the market, and he will not lose anyone!" ”
"Baili Situ, Shen Sikou, and Xia Taishi are all like this, as the master planner, in addition to talent, he must also be virtuous, help the world, and be good to himself, otherwise in the case of talent and no virtue, the master of the people will use you and keep three points of vigilance, if the gossip is up, even if it is an open-minded monarch, there is suspicion, Mingquan, do you understand?"
Listening to his uncle's earnest teachings, Mingquan is a bright-minded person after all, and after a while, he figured it out, nodded heavily at his uncle Mingzifu and replied: "Nephew understands!" ”
Only then did Ming Zifu put away his posture of educating his juniors, but instead fell his gaze to the copper plates on the table, and asked: "Since Gongziyan uses businessmen to obtain the food of the people of Nanjun, and uses his own way to govern his body, Mingquan, gather the bronze craftsmen of Nanjun, imitate this copper plate to build some, and see the reaction of Jiangxia Commercial House......"
Mingquan waved his hand and said: "These copper coins were exchanged by my nephew himself, and when they were exchanged, the merchants of the trading house specially instructed that if there is a difference in the fineness and decoration of the copper coins, it will be considered counterfeit and refuse to be used in the Jiangxia trading house......
In this regard, Ming Zifu already had some predictions, but he didn't expect Gongziyan to even think of this, so he asked: "Do you know what goods are sold in Jiangxia Commercial Bank?" ”
"Most of them are things used by ordinary people, linen cloth, cotton clothes, bedding and other oil, salt, tea cloth, etc., and it is also because of this practicality that the people of Nanjun are willing to exchange the stored grain at home for copper coins to buy these things in Jiangxia Commercial Bank......"
"Alas......" Ming Zifu shook his head when he heard this, and said: "It's strange that this matter is not thoughtful, where the people's livelihood is, but I really didn't expect Gongziyan to see this......"
Mingquan also nodded, and said: "In the past few years, Nanjun has suffered from wars, and all kinds of waste have been rejuvenated, originally just thinking that there is enough food to eat, but I really didn't expect that ordinary people still need these things, the bedding of Jiangxia Commercial Bank is made of wild cotton in the mountains, and I think it is also that the people of Nanjun were afraid of freezing in the winter of previous years, so even if they lose excess rations, they are willing to buy a few thick bedding!" ”
Ming Zifu sighed even more when he heard this: "After watching for many years, it is the first time I have seen the people take out the grain stored at home so simply, there are only two people in Daqin, Han Kui, the minister of state, and this Gongzi Yan!" ”
"Uncle, what should we do now?" Mingquan asked again.
Ming Zifu smiled, and then said calmly: "Jiangxia's businessmen are already prohibited, but Gongziyan's behavior, I believe that Junshang and Han Xiang will be interested, that is, the Jiangxia business house will be compiled into a book, and quickly sent to Wancheng, a hunch that a small Nanjun will not be able to satisfy Gongziyan's appetite for this behavior!" ”
"Is Uncle going to compromise on this?" Mingquan asked.
"The wood has become a boat, Gongziyan thought of this, it is not easy, if this copper coin is popular in Daqin, what can the people of Nanjun count as a year's surplus grain!"
Although Ming Zifu said this, Mingquan still did not give up, and said: "Uncle is unwilling to come forward, so he will hand over this matter to his nephew, who is willing to lead the people of Xiangcheng into the mountains to pick cotton, and resist the plundering of Nanjun by the Jiangxia Commercial Bank!" ”
Mingquan used the word "loot", which shows how angry he is about the actions of Jiangxia Commercial Bank!
Ming Zifu didn't support or oppose it, and felt that there was nothing wrong with letting his nephews touch some walls, and he could hone his temperament at the worst, so although he noticed that Nanjun had lost the opportunity, he didn't directly dissuade him.
